David Letterman ‘Crushed’ Oprah Didn’t Invite Him to Her Grand Finale

While it seemed like every celebrity ever was in Chicago yesterday for the taping of Oprah Winfrey's farewell spectacular, David Letterman wasn't one of them. As he explained in a rant on tonight's Late Show, Letterman—who "spent the last 12 to 15 years kissing up to Oprah"—didn't take the snub lightly. Add to that the fact that a bit he'd rehearsed with Steve Martin for today's CBS upfronts was scrapped at the last minute, and it's easy to see why Letterman was a bit more cranky than usual this evening.
